Despite the recognized effectiveness of LiDAR in penetrating forest canopies, its capability for archaeological prospection can be strongly limited areas covered by dense vegetation detection subtle remains scattered over morphologically complex areas. In these cases, an important contribution to improve identification topographic variations interest is provided LiDAR-derived models (LDMs) based on relief visualization techniques. this paper, diverse LDMs were applied medieval site Torre...
This paper demonstrates how historical research is a valuable tool for identifying past geological, geomorphological and climatic hazards therefore critical mitigating reducing future risk. The authors describe the potential of scientific field that straddles geologist, geographer, historian archivist. Historical records include range materials sources information, which can be very diverse; from written documents to cartographies, drawings marble tombstones. They are all useful convey...
The abandonment of inhabited places is a phenomenon widespread on global scale that has spanned centuries. It led to the birth so-called ‘ghost towns’. These lifeless sites dot internal Mediterranean and European areas, testifying changeability human settlements. Through vision reverses paradigm epitomises towns’, these can be transformed from problem into an opportunity for development territories host them. main topic this article present update investigations performed three abandoned...
Airborne laser scanning (ALS) is an optical measurement technique for obtaining high-precision information about the Earth's surface including basic terrain mapping (digital model, bathymetry, corridor mapping), vegetation cover (forest assessment and inventory) coastal urban areas. Recent studies examined possibility of using ALS in archaeological investigations to identify earthworks, although ability measurements this context has not yet been studied detail. This paper focuses on...
This paper deals with a UAV LiDAR methodological approach for the identification and extraction of archaeological features under canopy in hilly Mediterranean environments, characterized by complex topography strong erosion. The presence trees undergrowth makes reconnaissance remains very difficult, while erosion, increased slope, tends to adversely affect microtopographical potential interest, thus making them hardly identifiable. For purpose our investigations, survey has been carried out...
Many Italian cities and towns have been affected by geological or geohydrological processes. However, due to the loss of historical memory, lessons past ignored; new urbanized areas expanded into same zones where damage casualties occurred in past. Despite current practices, researchers are showing how data can be among most valid tools for identifying hazardous areas. When completeness quality sources sufficiently high, we make useful statistical inferences regarding spatiotemporal...
The knowledge of natural hazards that occurred in the past is essential for implementing forecasting and prevention actions, managing risk, identifying proper land use. Floods do not escape this rule. This article sheds light on an unknown intense rainfall period, which affected Campania region territory current Molise (Southern Italy) October–November 1961. period culminated floods, particularly involving town Benevento (Campania region), had been by several inundations over centuries....
Abstract Earthquake insurance can be a useful tool to build more sustainable societies and disaster-resilient communities. However, the coverage is not common in many countries. This article aims contribute literature through an empirical analysis of online interest earthquake Google Trends. The proposed methodology implies move from top-down conceptual approach bottom-up/data-enabled one. It allows us explore potential triggers dynamic patterns at daily time-scale lens Big Data. In order...
The November 23rd, 1980 Irpinia-Basilicata (Southern Italy) earthquake is one of the strongest earthquakes ever occurred in Italy. was a natural laboratory for scientific community, which engaged highly and promptly investigating event, thus publishing flood papers different research areas over time. Just these outputs are focus article, examines, with tailored methodological approach, international national (Italian) studies started advanced since occurrence earthquake. First, we built...
Insurance is an effective complementary countermeasure for unexpected losses brought about by natural hazards. Coverage can be a useful tool considering in particular that public funds available to compensate damages are limited and the consequences of catastrophes becoming more severe over time. Bearing this mind, authors performed study aiming clear up main aspects limits insurance market hazards residential properties Italy. The opening sections paper give overview both historical extreme...
Several theoretical and applied studies are concerned with the topics of geological heritage management geoconservation. The diversity natural anthropic scenarios into which is inserted, as well its troublesome management, make these challenging for scientific discussion. However, on other hand, highlight complexity a schematization approaches procedures, practical application assumptions. This paper concerns case study in geoconservation actions, begins identification basic description site...
We observed a remarkable near-to-unity correlation between the time series of Acoustic Emissions (AEs) collected at two stations approximately 300 km apart from each other and located along Apennine belt (Italy). This finding prompted us to verify hypothesis that AE signals can carry with them an indication anomalies in crustal stress trend, possibly related earthquake occurrences. Thus, we checked ability Recurrence Quantification Analysis Fractal as applied identify signal phase...
The Basilicata region (Southern Italy) is characterized by a peculiar environmental as well biological, geological, and cultural heritage features that are evident in national regional parks places of monumental archaeological relevance, including the Matera UNESCO Site. hosts highly studied Vulture volcanic complex largest hydrocarbon reservoir continental Europe. Furthermore, falls among Italian regions most prone to landslides floods it located seismotectonic background responsible strong...
Cultural heritage is the creative expression of a people’s presence in past. It represents driving force to create, develop, and consolidate sense identity, belonging, citizenship, as well means appreciate diversity people develop policy for peace mutual understanding. Furthermore, source economic development key factor sustainable development. The dissemination such values among transmission future generations entail putting into field proper actions, from knowledge protection conservation,...
Italy is one of the European countries most affected by landslides. In order to mitigate risk, analysis such phenomena should involve a broad spectrum studies understand geological and geomorphological properties unstable areas, geometric features landslides causes their trigger, evolution over time, works risk mitigation taken as well effectiveness time. This article concerned with multidisciplinary investigations on historical earth flow occurred in Montemurro (Basilicata, Southern Italy)...
